After you have loaded the configuration file, you can commit it to activate the configuration on the switch. You can also edit the configuration interactively using the CLI and commit it at a later time. To upload a configuration file from your local system: 1. Create the configuration file using a text editor such as Notepad, making sure that the syntax of the configuration file is correct. For more information about testing the syntax of a configuration file see Junos OS System Basics and Services Command Reference at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/. 2. In the configuration text file, use an option to perform the required action when the file is loaded. Table 51 on page 336 lists and describes some options for the load command. Table 51: Options for the load command Options merge Description Combines the current active configuration and the configuration in filename or the one that you type at the terminal. A merge operation is useful when you are adding a new section to an existing configuration. If the active configuration and the incoming configuration contain conflicting statements, the statements in the incoming configuration override those in the active configuration. override Discards the current candidate configuration and loads the configuration in filename or the one that you type at the terminal. When you use the override option and commit the configuration, all system processes reparse the configuration. You can use the override option at any level of the hierarchy. replace Searches for the replace tags, deletes the existing statements of the same name, if any, and replaces them with the incoming configuration. If there is no existing statement of the same name, the replace operation adds the statements marked with the replace tag to the active configuration. NOTE: For this operation to work, you must include replace tags in the text file or in the configuration you type at the terminal. 3. Press Ctrl+A to select all the text in the configuration file. 4. Press Ctrl+C to copy the contents of the configuration text file to the Clipboard. 336
